Review on VAULTEK VE20 Quick Access Portable Safe With Auto Open Lid, Security Cable & Rechargeable Battery by Matthew Gonzales

I purchased my Vaultek VE10 to store my M&P Shield, being that I live in California and also it was the only way the wife would feel safe about having in the house. It's ok, I can deal with that. I placed it somewhere I can easily access it from a hidden location and have it secured with the provided cable. Sure, a burglar could take it if they really tried, but they'll have to fight with it and figure it out first. I didn't want any way to remotely open it because I just don't see any reason I would need that, although event logs through Bluetooth wouldn't have been a bad thing. The ability to disable the beep on open is a great thing for being discrete, although the safe makes a very audible clunk when opened. I'm able to fit my Shield in there with an attached magazine and two spare mags as well. I can even fit my pistol in there while holstered inside my T Rex Arms Raptor (although I decided not to do this in order to quicken my ready time). The motion activated button lights are a great future in case you have to fumble around for it in the dark. Then, when you open it, a nice bright LED inside the safe will nicely illuminate your equipment. An easily and replaceable and rechargeable battery is the icing on the cake. If I ever need to take it with me, just open it and remove the cable and let's go! I'm very happy with the quality of this compact safe so far. If I could change anything, I would like thicker foam on the bottom that you could cut to fit your equipment perfectly. For the price, I can't complain, and the thicker foam is probably something I can add on my own. I'm sure at some point I will outgrow this case as I acquire more guns. Still, for a single handgun and a couple mags, I wouldn't go looking anywhere else.
